[QUOTE="Tome, post: 21843, member: 1435"] I like the direction that thisgs are going for this question, but get the distinct impression that I am not as generous as either Psion or Wolf72. That being said, here is what I have come up with: Feat Latent Talent (Psionic) Requirements: A wild talent can only select the Latent Talent feat at first level or after being worked upon by a psychic character with the ability to perform Psychic Surgery (DC25+1/level of the character trying to get the latent talent awoken). Awakening a Latent Talent can only be attempted once each character level. The character’s primary attribute must be 16 or above. Benefits: Once awoken, a Latent Talent grants the character 1 power point and 1 psychic talent (0 level power). The power that the player receives is chosen randomly from the Psion power list based upon the player’s primary attribute. For example, a player with a 15 STR, 12 DEX, 17 CON, and a19 WIS would be granted Clarsentient talent while a character with a 19 DEX would be granted a Psychoportion talent. If the character’s highest score is in more than one attribute, then his talent is randomly selected from a pool of both associated psychic disciplines. The Wild Talent has 1 PP to use his talent once per day. After his PP is expended he must rest for 8 hours before he can regain it. Wild Talents gain no access to psionic attack or defense modes. Wild Talents gain no additional PP for level advancement or for high ability scores. Wild Talents gain no other features of either of the psionic character classes unless noted. Special: The Latent Talent feat may be taken multiple times without the intervention of a psychic surgeon after the character’s initial psychic potential is awoken. As a psychic creature, the Wild Talent may take any Psionic or Meta-Psionic feat that she qualifies for, but gains no access to psionic skills since she has not had any formal training. Wild Talents are more sensitive to the psychic impressions around them, and as such lose part of the +8 non-psionic buffer protecting them from psychic attacks. Every time a Wild Talent takes any Psionic or Meta-Psionic feat (Including Latent Talent and Latent Power) she receives a –2 penalty (Max –8) to saving throws against psionic attack modes. Latent Power (Psionic) Requirements: Feat – Any 2 Psionic or Meta-Psionic Class – The character cannot have any levels of Psion or Psychic Warrior. Benefits: Through willpower and determination your character has been able to push his psychic powers further than others of similar experience. Your character receives an additional 2 PP and 1 1st level power randomly selected from the discipline associated with her primary attribute. Special: Wild Talents taking this feat gain access to one Psionic skill as a class skill. c. 2002 Tom Elmer [/QUOTE]
